The 2018 community-engaged transcreation project features two multimedia works. One is a short documentary titled “A Taste of Brooks Landing” by Fawzi Ali, Monica Nair, and Diana Rodriguez. Skillfully mixed in it are photos and film footage of the area, interviews with our community partners, and their culinary narratives that suggest an everyday miracle of people, place, and culture. The other is a podcast titled “Over the Bridge” by Lily Deng, Lisa Kim, and Matthew Pugsley. The project displays their thoughtful application of a range of cross-cultural translation concepts, as Lily, Lisa, and Matthew sought to discover and preserve the voices of our community partners by mindful use of the interviews and an urban planning expert’s perspective on the other hand.
